It captures heart rate at a much lower rate unless you indicate you're working out, so I guess if you knew it was getting to breakup stage of the conversation you could ask them to wait a sec while you start your workout

I guess there's a pretty big difference between making AI that is 'perfect' at the game vs AI that is believable / indistinguishable from a human.

I mean do we want all AI endeavors to be towards believe-ability or being best at the job they're designed for?

I guess if you optimised for a net 'landing' you'd also be losing the ability to realistically land anywhere you want, since you'd have to have a net there. learning this way would potentially open up any flat surface

So when does something change from a watch into a clock? This thing is the size of a fist

Saying "I'm going for a bike" would be the equivalent for "I'm going for a sneakers" (for a run).. its the action of riding that makes sense.

Have you checked it out on your phone recently? The new mobile markdown makes it much better

Best thing my wife and I ever did was having separate quilts (same bed though). Means we have independent heat adjustment, since we're like frosty vs surface of the sun at night.

It'd be a cool idea to sell warehouse storage with drone delivery of individual items if needed, that way you dont need to care as much about how much you can fit into your apartment at any one time

A police/security style organisation uses their tech to bring together / search across multiple data points.

It could be stuff like combining criminal records, speed cameras, CCTV records, etc into a single profile of a person. (as just an example)

Very powerful when set up correctly.

Of course all the HN comments on a page about making a small docker image are just bitching about the person making a small docker image because of <reasons> that would all make it not a small docker image any more

> "I asked to take it in C# but they refused and said it's not about specific language knowledge."

So.. "This isnt about a specific language, but you must use the ones we tell you!"

I love how "mediocre software developers" are called out in the header, but then it goes on to list about 10 different people in different roles that are causing actual problems, all systematic, where a developer would make no difference whatsoever.

Is there a way to try it without registration?

I'm sure there are plenty of people that would look at a functionally reduced electric car because it is a porche, its coming up on 90 years worth of fans building up

Don't forget about all the people that have apparently not ever done their taxes before and think that 'tax deductible' means 'discount' in some weird way.

Youd be amazed at the number of insurance companies with pretty web front ends and paper records behind it all at the other end

..and who the hell are you to determine where someone donates their money??

"If you don't like it, don't buy it" doesn't seem to exist any more.. everyone's entitled to everything being how they want the world to work

"The benchmark has two performance modules, which give you an idea of how fast the device would be in web browsing and email. The result for iPad Pro is tepid, with performance just beating the Nexus 9 and its Tegra K1. "

OK then... just how 'slow' are these tablets at browsing?

Considering my ipad mini 1 isnt 'slow' at web browsing, does this matter? I've never even noticed the speed being an issue.

This article basically amounts to "those benchmarks are stupid! look at these benchmarks!!"

It's really hard to read 'manier' without thinking 'more manly'.

Being from australia, when i purchase something it could potentially be cash only, swipe CC, insert CC or use paypass/paywave (nfc).

Not once have I ever considered this to be 'dizzying'

I mean, if you insert the card and it needs you to swipe, it tells you to swipe the card right there on the terminal (or just doesnt have the chip slot on it).

Why dont people just throw their wallets at the register and start curling up into a ball when it doesnt work

'usually' you mean in the US?

While I was in the UK I had unlimited data on my mobile but a 100GB limit/month on my landline connection

Services like this have taken off in Sydney (HungryAndLazy, Menulog, etc)

It's made getting delivery food here SO much better, as it's many smaller family owned stores that now get massive business if they have better food

> I don't know about that, it all seems fairly logical.

For people dealing with Microsoft for many years... this is the surprising part.

Can someone with the app please let me know if you can just autoplay tv series with this app?

Was annoying not being able to do that on the iOS app.

I guess what it means is that the advertisers were willing to throw more money at him for doing this than he made from selling the app.

Sounds like a stupid plan though as the users will obviously go for something better and the deals will end up being worthless

Purify is another good one. They seem to be pretty determined to soak up all the customers the others are going to lose from being dodgy bastards

What reasoning could they have given for opposing real world tests... surely thats an obvious sign of an issue

It seems crazy that the way to test emissions was the test what the car computer said... and not what actually came out of the car
